We loved our stay at the Center Hotel at Arnarhvoll. This was our second stay. We got an upgrade to include the spa. The spa was very quiet and in good working order and the robe was exceptionally comfortable. The drinking water was extremely mineralized, but probably not unhealthy. We particularly appreciated the gift of brownies and fruit, and the expresso maker. We loved the view, the quietness and proximity to everything, especially the waterfront. Highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days to celebrate our anniversary. We were so happy with the hotel — the staff were amazing and so helpful, our room was clean, the spa was beautiful, and the breakfast was excellent. We loved how close it was to everything as well, so we were able to walk everywhere. It was right across the street from the ocean, and up the street from restaurants and shops. We would definitely recommend this hotel!

Great hotel in an excellent location

This was the third and fourth time that I've stayed at this hotel. I was staying here for 3 nights either side of a multi day tour. I've always booked a sea view room and the view is a great view of Mount Esja. Maybe not so worthwhile in winter, with minimal hours of daylight, but definitely worth it in summer. The rooms are a decent size, very clean and with a mini fridge which I always find useful. I love the location of this hotel, just opposite Harpa and only a short walk to many restaurants and shops. For Flybus or tour pick up and drop off there are 3 stops that are convenient - 5, 6 and 14. Stop 6 is slightly up hill, so if you're dragging a heavy bag you might want to avoid this stop. I've never used the hotel spa, so can't comment, and when I've had breakfast in the past it's been a good spread in the lovely top floor bar area. Be aware that the hotel has rooms on the first floor (what I'd consider the ground floor, being English) and personally I'd avoid those and ask for a room on a higher floor if possible. Staff have always been very helpful and I coukd leave my suitcase at the hotel while I was away on my multi day tour. I'm not sure that I woukd have been able to leave my bag if I wasn't returning to stay at the hotel after the tour.

Great location but the room we stayed in had a very odd layout in a odd corner - 1. the tiny bathroom/toilet where the teeny tiny walk-in shower had a useless glass door that did nothing to keep the water from splashing out into the dry areas. There was a *mop* provided by the hotel which guests are apparently supposed to use to clean the floor after every shower! 2. the front desk staff do not attend phone calls from the room. You need to go down to the front desk in case you have a request. 3. The only window in our room was overlooking an office building where you can see people at their desks. We stayed there for 2 days and did not appreciate any of the above. We were glad to checkout out of the hotel. Won't recommend/return.
